When I became certified it made me feel really accomplished and very proud of myself. By doing the continuing education and working everyday helps me to grow."

Education is an investment in your future and helps build confidence. It’s a true blessing to work for a doctor that wants his employees to learn and better themselves. I had the opportunity to Attend SECO 2020 and it was an amazing experience to meet people from all over the world, hear great speakers and to explore the new technology in the exhibit hall. Without Dr.Ellis, I would not have been able to afford to go.
